Dracula's Guest

"Dracula's Gust" is a short horror story written by Irish author Bram Stoker. The narrative follows an unnamed Englishman who is in Munich, Germany, preparing to travel to Transylvania as a guest of Count Dracula. Despite receiving warnings from a German coachman about a long-abandoned village that lies in his path, the Englishman chooses to venture there alone. The coachman cautions him that the village is "unholy" and that it became deserted because the dead do not remain truly dead in that location.
